Yu Xuan's face was pale. She bit her bottom lip, and hesitation appeared on her face.
Su Ming's expression was calm. Determination and a will to die appeared in his eyes. In his eyes, this was a battle where he had absolutely no chance of winning. Five Lords of World Planes who had not been suppressed too much in the land of Berserkers and could still bring out the power of the Third Step were simply too difficult to fight against.
Even one of them could kill all manner of lives as if they were ants. Su Ming might not have truly fought against a cultivator in the Third Step before, but the memory of the killing sword's might was still fresh in his mind. That was definitely not a power he could fight against.
But what could he do? He could not choose to give up on the ninth summit, abandon his senior brothers who were casting their Arts, and leave on his own. Since he could not do this, then there was only one path before him.
If he could not live with them, then he would die with them!
Su Ming turned his head around and cast a glance at his Master's cave abode. There was a reluctance to part on his face, but there was also determination.
At that moment, the booming sounds in the area were getting closer. The Rune of thousands of lis was continuously tumbling backwards, and in the blink of an eye, it was reduced to only a thousand lis. The four Dao Slaves in the Third Step were using their powerful levels of cultivation to compress and shatter the Rune like a hot knife through butter.
Su Ming lifted his right hand quietly and swung it at the sky. Immediately, a large amount of purple fog surrounded his body and turned into the Undertaker of Evil's Armor. Once he lifted his right hand and seized the air, the purple fog instantly came to him and turned into the Undertaker of Evil's Spear in his hand!
He held the cold Undertaker of Evil's Spear tightly, and a murderous aura appeared in his eyes. He stood there like a mountain, and even if there was a violent storm, it would have to crush him first, or else no one would be able to take even half a step forward.
"I am indebted to the ninth summit for giving me peace for many years, and it was you who saved me from death in the past. Today … I will live and die with the ninth summit!" An old man walked out slowly from the hundreds of people in the area. He looked at Su Ming, and as he spoke, determination appeared on his face.
"That's right, the ninth summit has given us peace for many years. Now that we are in danger, there is no harm in dying!" More people walked out slowly. Their eyes were bloodshot. They might be afraid of their enemy's level of cultivation, but there were times when they had to do certain things no matter how afraid they were.
"The nine summits are like our home. Fighting to the death for the nine summits is also the best home for us disciples of Freezing Sky Clan!"
"Our cultivation bases are low, but we are hot-blooded. Even if we die … we will spill our blood on the nine peaks. Even if we die … we will bury our souls here!" Even more voices erupted from the hundreds of people with low voices filled with determination. Not a single one of them chose to retreat. The hundreds of people who had stayed in the ninth summit over the years had madness on their faces, and it was a form of fearlessness towards death. It was a determination that said that even if they died, they would die in the ninth summit.
Bai Su did not speak, but her expression and the fact that she did not move back represented all of her thoughts. She looked at Su Ming, and her face was filled with gentleness. She suddenly felt that she did not have too many regrets in this. If she could die in battle with Su Ming, then it would also be the end for her.
Qian Chen trembled. By his side, the bald crane had an anguished look on its face. It wanted to run away. With its personality, it had done this many times, but this time … it could not take that step. It looked at Qian Chen, at Su Ming, at the cave abode at the top of the ninth summit, and for the first time, madness appeared on its face.
"Darn it all, I'm a man this time! I'll fight them to the death!"
"Young Master, if you don't leave now, then it'll be difficult for me to protect you when those five people surround you," the colorless mutt said in a low voice with a grave expression on its face.
"I'm not leaving either!" Yu Xuan gritted her teeth. She told herself in her heart that Su Ming was someone she fancied, and he could be sold for a good price. If she left this time and he died, then everything would be for naught. This would definitely be the worst deal she could make.
Yu Xuan would definitely not do this sort of deal.
Once Yu Xuan made her decision, she immediately asked, "Xiao Huang, how many of those five can you handle?"
"I don't have their Constellation Robes, and my level of cultivation is suppressed in the land of Berserkers. With some difficulty … I can hold back three of them for an hour," the mutt answered languidly.
"If I cast a Secret Art, I can … I can hold back one of them!" Yu Xuan gritted her teeth and spoke to Su Ming. In her heart, she was feeling anxious. Why weren't those two old coots here yet? How much time had passed? Could they have run into some accident on the way?
Su Ming fell silent. At that moment, the booming sounds around him were getting closer. The Rune had already shrunk to an area of several hundreds of lis, and in the midst of those booming sounds, Dao Yuan's arrogant laughter could also be heard.
"An hour …" Su Ming closed his eyes, but soon reopened them. He wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed towards Yu Xuan and the mutt.
"I … will remember your kindness!"
The mutt swiftly leaped into the air, and an earthen-yellow light erupted from its body. In an instant, that light stretched one hundred thousand feet. A roar that shook the sky and earth reverberated in the air, and its body transformed from the mutt into a yellow dragon that was tens of thousands of feet long.
The yellow dragon had a ferocious expression on its face. As it roared, it charged towards the Rune that was continuously being compressed beyond the ninth summit. At the same time, Yu Xuan brought out a crimson medicinal core with a pale face. Once she placed it in her mouth, she turned around and stepped into the Rune. With the yellow dragon, she charged towards the four Dao Slaves who were breaking down the Rune.
When Su Ming saw Yu Xuan and the yellow dragon leaving, the determination to die appeared on his face. With a single move, the presence of Life Cultivation erupted from his body with a bang. An endless amount of wind and snow surrounded his body, and when he got up, he turned into a long arc that charged out of the ninth summit and closed in on the Rune.
The other hundreds of people had solemn expressions on their faces as they watched the shocking battle that was about to happen. This battle would decide the fate of the ninth summit.
The yellow dragon was the first to rush out. At the instant its body flew out of the Rune, a glint appeared in the eyes of the four Dao Slaves who were casting their divine abilities towards the Rune.
"World Traversing Abyss Dragon!"
"The Emperor of Abyss' True World!"
The yellow dragon lifted its head and roared at the sky. Immediately, the yellow light around its body spread out in all directions and enveloped three of the four people. The three of them seemed to be dragged along by the yellow light. As the yellow dragon roared and charged into the sky, the three of them were dragged along by the yellow light and flew up as well.
"Damn it, this is indeed an evil place. This is a place that goes against Morning Dao Sect, or else how could there be a World Traversing Abyss Dragon from the Emperor of Abyss' True World?!
"Kill this dragon! Skin it! Kill it! I'll bring it back to the sect and hang it on the door!" Dao Yuan immediately shouted. There was not a hint of panic on his face. Instead, he was incredibly excited.
As his voice traveled outwards, a freezing glare shone in the eyes of the fourth Dao Slave outside the Rune. He flew out swiftly, but just as he was about to rush into the sky to fight against the yellow dragon, a delicate cry came from within the distorted Rune. Right before everyone's eyes, Yu Xuan turned into a long arc and flew out of the Rune like an immortal.
No one knew what sort of effects the medicinal core she had swallowed previously had, but at that moment, a thick wave of Abyss Death Aura instantly spread out from her body. As that aura surrounded her, her face turned even paler, making her look like a corpse.
As she flew out, the Abyss Death Aura immediately spread out and blocked off the fourth Dao Slave.
Almost at the instant Yu Xuan flew out, Dao Yuan's eyes went wide. As his body shuddered, he let out a scream that was almost hoarse.
"There's such a beauty in the world! Dao Slave 51, capture her alive! You must capture her alive! Do not harm even a single hair on her head! Capture her alive for me, and I'll make you my vice commander!
"Dao Slave 19, go and help 51. You must capture this woman alive!" Dao Yuan was incredibly excited. A wicked and lustful glare appeared in his eyes, as if he wanted to pierce through Yu Xuan's robes. He felt that his trip to the land of Berserkers this time was incredibly worth it.
At this moment, the expressionless black-clothed man, who was the only guard beside him, moved and turned into a long arc that charged towards Yu Xuan.
Yet at the instant he moved less than a thousand feet away, a whirlwind formed by ice and snow charged out of the distorted Rune. Naturally, Su Ming was within that whirlwind of ice and snow.
Su Ming took a step forward and closed in on Dao Slave 19 in an instant. He did not rush straight towards Dao Slave 19, but instead charged towards Dao Yuan.
He was so quick that he turned into an afterimage. With the Undertaker of Evil's Spear in hand and the wind and snow around him, Su Ming's speed reached his limit.
A glint appeared in Dao Slave 19's eyes, and he gave up on moving towards Yu Xuan. Instead, he turned around, and at the same time he looked towards Su Ming, he lifted his right hand and pushed forward with one finger.
Dao Yuan did not even bother dodging. As a cold sneer appeared on his face, he looked at Su Ming with an arrogant expression. He was confident that before this person could even get close to him, he would immediately be killed by his Dao Slaves.
Yet at the instant Dao Slave 19 pointed towards Su Ming, Su Ming turned the back of his left hand downwards and his palm towards the sky as he executed Destiny's divine ability.
This battle was incredibly crucial, and he could not afford to make even the slightest mistake. He had to attack … and he had to use his strongest attack!
'Between the past and the future is Destiny! ' Su Ming swung his left hand in the direction of Dao Slave 19, who was pointing towards him. At the instant he did so, the time in the entire world seemed to have changed, and Dao Slave 19's finger froze in midair for a moment.
As the black-robed man's expression changed, the presence of a Lord of World Planes immediately spread out from his body. A destructive power also erupted from his body and broke through Su Ming's circulation of Destiny … but his finger still froze in midair for an instant.
That instant was a chance for Su Ming.
At the instant Dao Slave 19's finger froze and Su Ming executed Destiny's divine ability, his body surpassed the speed of lightning and swiftly appeared in front of Dao Yuan.
Dao Yuan was stunned, and before he could react to what was happening, the Undertaker of Evil's Spear in Su Ming's hand swept up the flying snow that contained the power of Su Ming's Life Matrix. In fact, the snow turned a faint shade of red, and it looked like the light of autumn. Su Ming thrust the spear … straight towards Dao Yuan's forehead. (To be continued.
